Rioters take aim at the EFF, fire bullets at Malema’s men

Just hours before Malema was supposed to address crowds in Alexandra last night, several shots rang out at his followers, allegedly hitting one.

EWN reported, through live stream social media reports that the shots apparently came from a men’s hostel. Hostels in Durban and Johannesburg have played host to both refugee and local troublemakers and the SAPS have focused their efforts there.

Apparently the shots came from the Madala Hostel, a key venue in the recent xenophobic flare-ups. They could have mistaken the EFF members for rioters…

Not one to shy away from a photo-op, Julius kept the show on the road and was soon delivering his speech to a fiery crowd – although the fire might actually not have come from the crowd, but rather started by them… hard to say.

Malema focused his speech on acceptance and redirecting anger away from foreign nationals and towards government.
